- install prerequisite packages
For example, for Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install xfslibs-dev uuid-dev libtool-bin \
- e2fsprogs automake gcc libuuid1 quota attr libattr1-dev make \
+ e2fsprogs automake gcc libuuid1 quota attr make \
libacl1-dev libaio-dev xfsprogs libgdbm-dev gawk fio dbench \
- uuid-runtime python sqlite3
+ uuid-runtime python sqlite3 liburing-dev libcap-dev
For Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS:
yum install acl attr automake bc dbench dump e2fsprogs fio \
gawk gcc indent libtool lvm2 make psmisc quota sed \
xfsdump xfsprogs \
- libacl-devel libattr-devel libaio-devel libuuid-devel \
- xfsprogs-devel btrfs-progs-devel python sqlite
+ libacl-devel libaio-devel libuuid-devel \
+ xfsprogs-devel btrfs-progs-devel python sqlite liburing-devel \
+ libcap-devel
(Older distributions may require xfsprogs-qa-devel as well.)
(Note that for RHEL and CentOS, you may need the EPEL repo.)
- run make
- Set TEST_FS_MODULE_RELOAD=1 to unload the module and reload
it between test invocations. This assumes that the name of
the module is the same as FSTYP.
+ - Set DUMP_CORRUPT_FS=1 to record metadata dumps of XFS or ext*
+ filesystems if a filesystem check fails.
+ - Set DUMP_COMPRESSOR to a compression program to compress
+ metadumps of filesystems. This program must accept '-f' and the
+ name of a file to compress; and it must accept '-d -f -k' and
+ the name of a file to decompress. In other words, it must
+ emulate gzip.
- or add a case to the switch in common/config assigning
these variables based on the hostname of your test
- ./check '*/001' '*/002' '*/003'
- ./check '*/06?'
- Groups of tests maybe ran by: ./check -g [group(s)]
- See the 'group' file for details on groups
+ See the tests/*/group.list files after building xfstests to learn about
+ each test's group memberships.
- If you want to run all tests regardless of what group they are in
(including dangerous tests), use the "all" group: ./check -g all
- To randomize test order: ./check -r [test(s)]
When developing a new test script keep the following things in
mind. All of the environment variables and shell procedures are
- available to the script once the "common/rc" file has been
- sourced.
+ available to the script once the "common/preamble" file has been
+ sourced and the "_begin_fstest" function has been called.
1. The tests are run from an arbitrary directory. If you want to
do operations on an XFS filesystem (good idea, eh?), then do
in the ./new script. It can contain only alphanumeric characters
and dash. Note the "NNN-" part is added automatically.
+ 6. Test group membership: Each test can be associated with any number
+ of groups for convenient selection of subsets of tests. Group names
+ can be any sequence of non-whitespace characters. Test authors
+ associate a test with groups by passing the names of those groups as
+ arguments to the _begin_fstest function. For example, the code:
+
+ _begin_fstest auto quick subvol snapshot
+
+ associates the current test with the "auto", "quick", "subvol", and
+ "snapshot" groups. It is not necessary to specify the "all" group
+ in the list because that group is computed at run time.
+
+ The build process scans test files for _begin_fstest invocations and
+ compiles the group list from that information. In other words, test
+ files must call _begin_fstest or they will not be run.

Verified output:
Each test script has a name, e.g. 007, and an associated
